The Camper Issue Does Not Exist.

This is the sort of response I’m expecting from gamers
in relation to the title, how dare I point out something so obvious. How dare I
even suggest such a notion?

The funny part about the whole “campers ruin game play”
is the fact that people cry foul when a game is not “realistic enough” and I
have even seen claims made by people stating that campers should not be allowed
in games, that camping should be made as difficult as possible because it
spoils all the fun.

Well, I have some news for you. You’re wrong. You’re
totally wrong and also MISSING THE POINT.

BUT...CAMPERS?!?!?!

What would I do if I was at war? Send my BEST snipers
out on the field under cover where they can minimise casualties to MY troops
and take out the opposing force as much as they can before I send troops to
potential deadly situations.

THIS IS WAR.

Indeed, you scream for “realistic combat” yet these “campers”
who “spoil the game” for you are, in fact, PLAYING the game how they want. They
are using VANTAGE POINTS to minimise their own deaths in order to defeat the
enemy.

YOU PAY, YOU PLAY.

Don’t like campers? That’s fine.....Don’t buy the game.
Don’t play the game. There will always be campers/snipers in games that are
made to recreate battle simulated combat.

CAMPERS ARE DIFFERENT TO SNIPERS.

How so? Different weapons? Sure. But I for one would do
the same in a battle, I would sit and wait. Quiet as a mouse, take my time.
Bide my time. Wait for the best moment to put someone on ice with minimal risk
to myself, especially if I knew it was a path frequented by the opposing army
so I could knock them out one by one.

This is why armed forces have co-ordinated attacks and
special sniper squads.

As yourself one question, would you be a camper IRL if
you thought you could survive that little bit longer?
